Brightpaw is so hilarious...don't get me wrong, the stream is chalk full of great stuff but that cat is just so fun to watch!

As a detailed answer to the Artifact Appearance question, below is the FAQ answer I put into the Artifact Guide:

The current plan is to allow all Artifact appearances to be unlocked after Legion (except for the Keystone Master Mythic +15 Tint for the Valorous appearance and A Challenging Look Mage Tower Challenge Appearance, both of which will be unavailable after Legion).This includes the War-Torn (Prestige) appearance and all tints, which WILL be obtainable after Legion, although the manner in which they are earned may change.In addition, the various tints for A Challenging Look Mage Tower Challenge Appearance will be unlockable after Legion, as long as you have unlocked the base appearance before Legion is over.

I sometimes play the board game of that name with colleagues (we're all German) and half of them pronounce it like "skies".And while at work, some pronounce (database) view like "few" *shiver*

Here are a few reasons why the English language is so hard to learn:

1) The bandage was wound around the wound.2) The farm was used to produce produce.3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.4) We must polish the Polish furniture.5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time topresent the present.8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.10) I did not object to the object.11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.13) They were too close to the door to close it.14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.18) After a number of injections my jaw got number.19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplantnor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. Englishmuffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we findthat quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pigis neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers writebut fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If theplural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose,2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If avegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to anasylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at aplay and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Havenoses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fatchance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling itout and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented bypeople, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race,which, of course, is not a race at all.

That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when thelights are out, they are invisible.

I take a hard stance on websites that I read that disable comments on their posts. I've often commented that the girls here on Wowhead had large balls than the mods on Reddit for the amount of BS they allow on their platform. Disappointed.

At a certain point, there are posts that attract just that - BS. It's a waste of time to read the endless whining, people insulting each other needlessly, personal beliefs being ridiculed and berated where nothing productive is really discussed.

Feel free to have your "hard stance" all you want - it's a wise and respectful move to disallow posts on some topics. Now all the internet trolls have more time to go do something else - everyone wins!

And by the way, you are mistaking a lack of courage for prudence and foresightedness.
